Camp Fitch
The sixth-grade class recently enjoyed a rather chilly, but fun-filled three days at Camp Fitch in North Springfield, Pa. Activities led by the teachers included outdoor cooking and games, pioneer crafts, a group challenge course and archery. The camp filled the remaining time with a Lake Erie study, horsemanship and fire building.
Students enjoyed the special trip. A big thank you to everyone involved in making sixth-grade camp a success.
College and Career Night
West Geauga High School recently hosted the Ohio Association for College Admission Counseling (OACAC) CLEast College and Career Fair, which was open to all area high school students. The high school welcomed students from over 20 different school districts.
A unique aspect of the event was the opportunity for students to take the Interest Finder. The tool asks a series of questions about a student’s interests and personality and then generates a Holland Code based on those results, which identifies different careers that may be of interest.
There were 80 college and 35 career representatives available at the fair, organized by Holland Code. Thank you to the West Geauga Counseling Office, in collaboration with Beachwood and Orange high schools, for hosting and organizing a wonderful community event.
Franklin B. Walter Award
The Franklin B. Walter All-Scholastic Award was created in 1990 by the Ohio Educational Service Center Association (OESCA) to honor Franklin B. Walter, a past Ohio Superintendent of Public Instruction, and to recognize one top student scholar from each county in Ohio.
West Geauga High School is proud to announce that Lydia Hanna, class of 2023, is the Geauga County recipient of the Franklin B. Walter Award. Lydia and her family will attend a special recognition luncheon where award recipients from each county will be recognized by their peers and state education leaders.
